Amazing Spider-Man, The: The Untold Extended Edition

This is an amazing edit, pun intended! Working with some flawed movies, the editor created the best version of this movie I can imagine. All of the characters motivations seemed a lot more clear, and it really frees up the sequel to focus on the newly introduced characters. This is easily my favorite edit that I've seen, and it is how I choose to remember these movies!

Let's hope the studio decides it's time for us to see the 3rd film.

This is the perfect version of this movie in my opinion. Moving the parent subplot to entirely to this movie works so well and it strengthens Peter's relationship with his father so much and it finally gives him closure to close that chapter and then actually be ready to help Harry in the sequel.

Everything here just works so unbelievably well and Masirimso17 integrated the content here really well, it's not that noticeable if you aren't already intimately familiar with the movies or just paying too much attention at the characters faces because obviously the sequel was filmed a year or so after the first movie so they look a little older. A tiny detail thay personally annoyed me was how Peter's room's posters changed because we go back to the original room at the end after having seen the room from the sequel for most of the movie but obviously that's not on the creator, they did the best with the footage they had to work with and they expertly cut out whatever didn't fit into this narrative. It's honestly incredibly well made and it was the first time that it felt like this movie truly reached its true potential and this is the closest we'll get to a Webb cut tbh. This is just fantastic stuff. Practically perfect and they did everything they could. Personally, I love how Peter gets closure at the end and the reveal of the car gives the breakup time to breathe so it's not so sudden when they get back together at the end. Although it is a damn shame that they had to cut Aunt May's speech after the breakup. I've always liked that but I get why it wouldn't fit into here.

Seriously, this is basically the best version of this movie.

Although I am a DC fan, or rather I became one growing up, overall, Spider-Man is my all time favourite superhero! I have read lots of comics, both with Peter and Miles Morales, seen the great Amazing Spider-Man animation and of course, watched several times all 8 of his movies. The original two Amazing Spider-Man films, were really hit or miss for me. Several good stuff in them and several bad. Let's say, for the first Amazing movie, my overall enjoyment factor was a 6.

When I came upon this edit I was really really intrigued. I mean, having all the "Peter parents" plot from the second movie into this one, which was his origin film, made perfect sense!

The vidual and audio editing were excellent!! You could not tell that the extra scenes where from the next movie...iiif only Andrew Garfield didn't have a new haircut in the next one. But if that wasn't the case, and you were a first time viewer, you would never be able to tell if something was tampered with. That's how great the editing was!

On the narrative side of things, this is the absolute version of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man origins. That being said, if you did not like the original movie or you had other isues with it, there will still be here. This is an extended version, not a fix. For instance, for me, it didn't change the fact that Lizard is an oversized, bad CGI aaand he was like a generic Super Mario enemy. I mean, PUT THE DAMN LAB COAT ON LIZARD!!! How hard is it?? Have something that looks like the comic version. It was the only thing that distinguished him from a generic mutant lizard. And besides that, this movie doesn't really have much action, so by adding an extra 25 minutes of non-action scenes, made it even more slow. But all this is not Masirimso17's fault.

So, I most definitely recommend this to anyone who didn't completely dislike the movie. If you found it "ok" and above and you dig extra backstory for Spidey gathered in one film, this will be your go-to version of the movie! I know for me it will be, although not anytime soon. 2.5hours of origin, without an actuall, quality, spidey-action payoff, is a bit much..

Thank you Masirimso17 and thanks to anyone who read my review!

Excellent edit, by adding all the deleted scenes and the Roosevelt plot from TASM 2, you made the movie more consistent, also huge improvement concerning Dr Conners, who gains more humanity in this cut.
Nice work!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Totally redeems this film!
